get out

from the bus! Cries of children.

Get out of the car!

Break the glass!

Oh ! My God !

...

-None of the six children in the bus survived.

-Yes...

- Commissioner Niémans? -Yes.

-Lieutenant Michael Laclos. I'm the investigating officer.

- My assistant. Lt Delaunay. -Nice to meet you.

Sorry for the delay. Jacques is waiting for you at the station.

-James?

-Pelletier, the bus driver. He was released from the hospital yesterday.

-Let's go.

- Commissioner! -Yes ?

-I would have preferred to meet you otherwise.

I am very honored to work with you.

You are a legend.

I would have liked to be part

of your unit. -It's done.

...

Cries of children in the bus at the time of the tragedy.

-It would be a DIY tool.

-A bladed weapon with 3 blades. - A claw to shred

meat.

-Why did the killer leave him alive?

-Mr Pelletier.

Mr Peltier.

I am Commissioner Niémans. I have to ask you questions.

-James...

Please.

-I can still hear their cries in my head.

They scream and bang on the windows!

-It's hard for you.

But I need you to figure out what happened.

Tell me about the person who assaulted you.

-One person ?

He was a beast.

An animal.

I locked the doors to prevent them

to get out. This is the procedure. But we were on track.

- 2 years ago, you were implicated in a road accident.

3 dead. You were

suspected of driving

in a drunken state. -Bullshit!

- Filed without follow-up. -Who was in charge of the case?

-It was me. -It's been 3 years

that I no longer drink. Check!

-His blood alcohol test is

negative. Blood tests are here.

-Good God...

They were kids.

- We will stop there for today.

I will let you rest.

-I'll take you home.

- A beast... You will tell me if one day we have a normal investigation.

-Yes. The guy who did this had it all planned out.

Flat tires, et cetera. -To murder children.

Why ?

-(Here it is.)

-It's your fault !

-Stopped !

-Don't get involved in this. Let go of me ! What can you understand?

You have a family ? Kids?

You have nothing!

Go back to doing your crossword.

We will find the culprit and we will bleed him.

- Sorry... - Shut up!

-Christian. Keep busy

of your brother.

...

How are you ? -I will continue on my own.

-We talk soon.

Take care of yourself.

-Poor Jacques. - Yes, it's hard.

How are you?

-I do not know. I feel weird.

If he hadn't been sick that day, he would have taken the bus

and... I don't know

what to say to others. -Hi, Colin. I experimented

a recipe

of muffins. You will be the first to taste it. You want ?

Yeah ?

Great !

- That's nice, Michael.

We'll talk soon.

See you.

- Goodbye, Emma. Hello, big boy.

...

Very well. Are you sending me the photo by e-mail?

Thank you, Charles.

For the TIC, the bus was indeed immobilized following a puncture.

Jack is telling the truth. A brand from

of the bus has been reconstructed. -What kind ?

-A symbol engraved with 3 lines.

Like scratches made with the claw.

-Have you had any business with kids here?

-Only one. -And ?

- A kid from here

disappeared a year and a half ago. Lucas, the son

from Natalie. The culprit is in jail. Kofi Dibia. A refugee

Nigerian. the amulet

that he had given to the kid was found

in his cave full of blood.

- The body of the child?

-Not found. They say Kofi ate it.

-Where is Kofi?

-Riom prison. - I call them.

-What was this kid doing?

in his cave?

-Kofi would tell stories from his country.

He was making

trinkets. Parents didn't like it.

Well Named. Lucas saw Kofi secretly, alone. And he disappeared.

*Beep. -Lieutenant Delaunay. I want

information

on a certain

Kofi Dibia.

Are you sure ?

-Does that speak to you?

- How long has it been? OKAY.

Kofi was released a week before the accident.

...

Entrance bell.

Nathalie Exelmans?

-This guy kills a kid and a year later he's out?

-He first took 20 years. But the judges

doubted the solidity

folder.

The amulet with blood

from Lucas on was here. -He confessed ?

-No. He claims to be innocent.

Like all culprits.

-It looks like a banal story of revenge on his release from prison.

This cave is in the commune?

-It's better like that.

- A year in prison is not much.

But that's already it. -It would drive me crazy

May the man who killed my child be free.

- What freedom?

We are all locked up in some way. So...

What drives me crazy...

it's not knowing where my child lies.

It is ironical. You can not find ?

-What ?

-Not knowing where Lucas is...

when I killed him.

-Put them there.

-They must not see Hassan. -Go and don't show yourself.

Hide there.

-Mr Doucet.

This gentleman would have questions for you.

- We saw each other this morning. What can I

for you ?

-Kofi Dibia. - "The black ogre".

Thank God ! He rots in prison. -He was squatting in one of your caves.

-No. He was offered to live there. - What is your relationship with him?

- We tolerated it. -In vouchers

samaritans?

In fact, he was working for you. -Exchange of good practices.

-In other times, we called it something else.

-Everyone is born where he should

be born. -That's enough !

find the culprit

of this monstrosity.

- That's what we're trying to do - Do you think you'll find it here?

-Why did you set fire to the cave?

-To get rid of vermin.

-Pay attention. The vermin just got out of jail.

-What the hell are you doing? -Looked. We do your job.

- I don't like this whole mess.

I hope you have something.

- Nathalie Exelmans. She lost her husband to cancer a year ago

before the disappearance

of little Lucas. She no longer worked

to devote himself to his son. But she was depressed.

And she left him

left to himself. -Hence the solo getaways.

-She says she abandoned her son, so he died.

-And so ?

-It's heavy.

- Take some distance, Camille.

Okay ?

-I'm trying, Niémans.

...

-Why are you letting yourself go? What's the problem with them?

-They suffer. That's all.

I know them well.

We all know each other here.

Eric, he's not a sweetheart. But he's not a villain.

-There is always a villain.

- They intend to hunt him.

...

Nathalie Exelmans cries.

-Ah! Jacques.

It's good to see you outside.

How's the leg? -Better than the rest.

-It's a good start.

What can I do for you?

James...

That's all ?

I will be delivered on Tuesday for gas. -Give me a bottle.

-Are you sure ?

...

-It's a former boarding school.

It remains open in the summer for summer camps.

You won't be cramped.

I'll bring you an extra heater.

-Yes it would be good. - Commissioner...

I haven't been trusted here since the Lucas case.

They make me understand

that I did not do my duty. I want to catch the culprit.

-You can count on us.

Jacques Pelletier is crying.

...

...

-(Whore !)

Jacques! No ! What are you doing ?

-Get out of here!

- We're going to talk. Okay ?

We're going to talk, Jacques.

-I killed them all. -You know you had nothing to do with it.

Come down.

I will help you.

-I am so tired.

-It'll be OK.

It'll be OK.

I will pin him down.

Thunder.

...

-Do you think it's him? - This imbecile is going to pay me!

- Charles!

...

- Hassan!

Hassan!

Good God !

Hassan!

...

What is...

*Telephone tone.

*You are of course on Charles Doucet's messaging system.

- Charles!

Noise in the distance.

Charlie!

...

Noise in the distance.

Noise in the distance.

Cry of fear. Metal blade.

- Hello, commissioner. -Hello.

-The injuries match those of the bus driver.

- Made with the same claw? -Yes. The woman is wearing

traces of defense on the arms.

I took a hair from under a fingernail.

It can match

to their Kofi. -The kids. Then bourgeois.

-If it is Kofi, the motive

revenge is on the way. - Commissioner!

Kofi and another man's passport.

Hassan Boubia. -You know him ?

-No. Without a doubt

another migrant whom they exploited.

- "Life has

"manifested", Saint John tells us. And we have seen it.

The infinite, transcendent life of God has come to meet us.

She offered herself to us. And we are witnesses to it.

Christ's love for his children,

the love that his children know how to return to him,

we have to keep track of it.

A trace that will remain in us forever,

that nothing can erase.

"We proclaim eternal life to you", adds Saint John.

"I came not to judge the world...

"but to save him.

"True Forgiveness

"is divine".

-Look at those fucking crows! And he there...

He has nothing else to give a fuck, this good-for-nothing?

- You can't rely on anyone.

Tired of this bullshit!

He won't get away with it?

You heard

for the Doucets? He is around us.

He's wandering around here!

-What will you do ? -Cab him.

-And after ?

- We will do what we have to do.

-Are you serious ? That's not going to bring our kids back.

- Don't piss off, Elise! - Oh, Eric! Whore !

-You will end up in jail. We will be screwed up a little more.

- No one will go to jail.

We will make it disappear

the body.

-Elise...

-You're with me. I must have you with me.

*-A child killer

*is free. The death penalty must be reinstated.

*-It creates problems.

*-What kind of problems? *-Justice must be done

*for our children.

*-A little word !

*What did you think of the current investigation?

*-Ask that to those uniformed penpushers.

*It makes no sense.

*But we don't need

*belongs to nobody.

-It does not smell good,

all that.

You need to calm things down. -You see how they talk to me.

They are coming

to bury their children.

-Lieutenant!

- Come closer, everyone!

Come.

Go on ! Listen to me.

We're forming our vigilante squad.

Justice has freed the monster that killed our children. He hides there.

He watches us. He taunts us.

Who will be his next victim?

If the police arrest him, what will it be,

his punishment?

Fed and housed for life?

No. It will not arrive.

You know why ?

We'll hunt him down like a wild beast.

We will form groups. I take the lead of the 1st.

Henry. You take care of the... Damn! What are they doing there?

- The meeting is over.

Take their weapons.

-We have a license

for that. -All of us.

-Go home.

No one will take the law into their own hands. It's understood ?

-And you're going to stop us? - Yeah, exactly.

-Give me that.

-Watch out.

-Why

you do that? You don't have any kids. Eh ?

-Drop it.

Calms you. It's no use. Thanks.

-How are you ? -Yes.

-Your weapon.

Give me that gun. Whore !

Thanks. I understand your pain. But it's not

the solution. We'll take your weapons. Everyone will calm down.

-We will find the bastard

who did that. I promise you.

-Okay.

Yes. Thanks.

-It's starting to bother me. How do we light this?

-Like that.

-I would have found.

- Hassan Boubia.

Customs intercepted it. He walked away when he saw you coming

with Michaël at the Doucet's. He has been in France for a month.

And he says he doesn't know Kofi.

-And the good news, what is it? -I don't know if it is.

The hair found under Madame Doucet's fingernail belongs to Kofi.

It would prove his guilt.

-Eric and the villagers are making a mess.

It's not very good. - But considering what they have been through...

We have already seen citizens

help the police

to arrest killers. -A lynching is

something else. -They understood.

And you too are flirting with the red line.

-It has nothing to do.

And I have a guardian angel who watches over me, who keeps me from slipping.

A little guardian angel who is not doing very well.

What's going on, Camilla?

Eh ? -I'm tired, Niémans.

I'm tired of all this here.

Maybe that's why I want them to help us?

No. I would like to be on vacation at the beach.

-I can't give you that.

But we have 5 star sleeping arrangements

offered by the National Gendarmerie. We were made fun of.

A commissioner in a crib.

I've never had it

done, that one. It's Michael. I'm listening to you.

-RAS, commissioner.

Everything is calm.

Everyone is at home. *-Perfect.

Organize a press briefing for me tomorrow.

The presence of journalists

will show them

that we work.

*You can do that. You are in place.

*This is the opportunity to show them that they were wrong

*about you. Okay ? -Okay. I will do it. Thanks.

-Very well. Good night.

...

Emma knocks on the window.

-Are you in hiding? -The guardian of the temple keeps watch.

-You have always dreamed of entering the Crime.

You are served. -Yeah.

It's not how I imagined it.

-Listen. I'm sorry for this afternoon.

I shouldn't have filmed. -How are you.

There are no casualties.

I decided to organize a press conference.

-You ? -Yeah.

-Can I take a selfie? -Yes. With pleasure.

-Good...

See you tomorrow. -Yes.

Hi.

A dog barks in the distance.

...

...

- If you go out alone at night, I'll fire you.

-I get it. -Yes...

Stop smoking. It would avoid this kind of bullshit.

Yes yes.

- Thank you all for being here.

On behalf of the whole brigade,

of all the forces of order mobilized

on this matter, I would like to express

my sadness, tell the families

victims that we think of them. A tragedy has struck us.

I understand your sadness. I understand your anger.

I want to assure

to each of you...

that we are going to stop

Kofi Dibia. -What is he doing ?

Presumption of innocence,

does it speak to him?

-He's wandering around here. His report has been released. There are roadblocks.

Reinforcements are coming

to organize hunts in the forest.

The noose is tightening.

And I would like to say

to the population that Kofi must be arrested alive.

He doesn't deserve it.

But we will have an explanation,

a semblance of meaning to his actions.

So please...

leave the guns at home.

Don't go to jail.

-A question.

-Yes ? - The killer is playing with the police?

*-I'm a policeman.

Laughs.

Other questions ?

Yes ?

-He's doing pretty well. -You find ? He speaks

as if he believed Kofi guilty. -That's what they want to hear.

You told him to calm them down. -Not to be judge and judged.

-I saw the killer, his traditional mask, the claw.

I did some research. Before the independence of the Belgian Congo

and Gabon, wizards used these claws to attack

their prey. -Kofi is Nigerian.

-We call them the Aniotas. From "nyoto" to scratch.

"Drawing inspiration from the Aniotas, sorcerers in Nigeria have

"recreated hyena-man, Kovenkore". -Kovenkore. The hyena-man.

-Kovenkore. With two K's.

You see ? -Yes.

Good work ! -Thanks.

I had applied to take over your position.

-Excuse me.

Eric and the others did it again.

...

-Keep your eyes open, guys!

Gunshots in the distance.

-We break up.

Fire.

- Get out of your hole!

We'll find you eventually!

You hear ?

Go outside ! -Come. We go back.

It's no use.

- Give up, if you want. Me, I'll track him down until he dies.

Tell yourself that.

What are you doing here?

- I come to help you.

-Help us ? How ? -I also want

find it.

- Get out, dirty drunk!

-Please. -Go away !

Get out or I'll stick one between your eyes!

- Go away, Jacques.

Please.

- How are you doing, Jack?

Eh ?

To look at yourself in a mirror, how do you do it?

You got them

all abandoned!

Whore !

Go on ! Let's go.

...

Jacques Pelletier hears the voices of the children during the drama.

-Get out of the bus!

...

Footstep.

Gunshot.
